Disney Developing Teen Dramedy Dumplin

Disney is developing the dramedy movie “Dumplin&#39;” based on the upcoming Julie Murphy young adult novel. Disney acquired the movie rights preemptively and is in talks with Michael Costigan to produce the film. The novel centers on a confident teen girl who enters a beauty pageant to show the world that she deserves to be up there as much as any skinny girl does.
